Phil Mickelson's patriotic reaction to making Ryder Cup team

Re-joined the European Tour specifically to play in this year's match, a decision Bjorn influenced.

In 2008, Singh finished first in the Barclays and the Deutsche Bank Championship and went on to win the FedExCup and its $10 million prize.

So although he might not be at his peak when he arrives for the Ryder Cup, there's no denying he was one of the best golfers available for Team USA.

Furyk heaped praise on the trio, particularly 14-times major champion Woods, who will now relinquish his role as a vice-captain.

The 24-year-old Californian is known as the "Mad Scientist" for his approach to the game, from his single-length clubs (34 inches, roughly the length of a 7-iron), to his work on biomechanics to the calculations that go into every shot. "It's like a football team going without their captain".

It will be the 38-year-old Garcia's ninth Ryder Cup appearance, having been the youngest man to play in the event's history as a 19-year-old in 1999. "I set out this year on really a strong commitment and journey to get on the team". "I just want to get there".

"I think we could be a great team out there".

The left-hander, who was 10th in the U.S. standings, shot his lowest round of the season on Monday, an eight-under-par 63, to finish three ahead of Woods.

DeChambeau has won the last two FedEx Cup playoff events, rising to No. 7 in the world. His 12th appearance breaks the Ryder Cuprecord held by Nick Faldo. "And it showed, and it paid off".

United States of America captain Jim Furyk will name three of his four wildcard picks on Tuesday, and after DeChambeau's recent successes, it is unthinkable he will not be included among them.

Poulter, because he wasn't in form in 2016, served as a vice captain at Hazeltine. They are boisterous, I have a lot of respect for them and we are looking for players that we thought would handle that situation well and would thrive, love the challenge.

'I really wanted to play in it.

"I've been trying to get that week in and week out and I was able to figure something out last week on the putting green and that's kind of progressed me to move forward in the right way".

Bjorn on Wednesday announced Paul Casey, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson as his four at-large picks, but there were a number of ways he could have gone, and he left himself very open for criticism. Wallace birdied seven of his last eight holes to win the championship, his third victory of the season.
